Thanks for pointing that out. I think Wiktionary is where I first heard the word, and I hadn't seen it was removed.
So, wer did mean male/husband and man did mean everyone. It's just that they weren't used together. I should probably also have noted that woman was 'wifman' back then. That one has more obvious descendants than the male version.
